Ooh fun. Weapons don't take so much time to do.
"We are unable to accept electronic entries for this contest."
That's a little odd. I guess they don't want to deal w/ everyone sending stuff in different formats.

Yeah I kinda thought that was a bit sucky. I'm betting that it had more to do with not wanting to get hit for 4 million emails a day though.
They could have just specified and image size and file format it had to be in. If they wanted them electronically.

I have a "special" scepter all sketched out. But from what I see their e-mail is down? That figures  Last time I sent something in I ran into the same issue. I'll wait a bit before sending it in. For you guys who are curious, its an Air Wand.  |

Yeah, but Radicc... Every day at work I'm getting ads that are supposed to be of a certain size/file format. More often than not, they're wrong in some way. These are companies, ad agencies, and other publications getting this wrong... so imagine what the average joe w/ photoshop/paintshop/paint could do to screw things up.
Weapons just have to be something I sketch from time to time... so I might even be able to dig up an old idea and refine it.

My guess is one of two things - Either their IT guy has them freaked out about virus's and doesn't want them accepting 40,000 attachments or Their Lawyer told them they'd be better off copying a paper version into a digital file rather than modifying a previously created file....hehe. You know how us Americans are with Lawyers  . Ahhh, the almighty dollar!! Hadus |

I re-read the contest info properly this time. They are ONLY accepting mailed in 8.5 x 11 (or A4) size paper sketches. There are not accepting it any other way.
